I will try to keep this one short..
Hi everyone, it has been some time (7 months) since I posted my first idea stating Gold's potential. Gold reached the target 2700$ last week. However, during this week or next week possibly, I am expecting a solid change in direction that will start a short-term consolidation phase. Don't get me wrong, Gold is extremely bullish on the long-term, forming this cup & handle like formation. But throughout the next month, I believe gold will fall around ~2600$, in the worst case around ~2500$.
My reasoning is as follows,

Looking at the Monthly Chart, Gold's bullish rally carried Gold above the approximately 10-year trend, this is expected to some extent, because Gold has a lot more buying power than it had years before and there is literally a war going on, this too puts pressure on bull side.

However, one thing especially caught my attention, RSI is again over 80, which indicates Gold is overbought. In most of the cases where a stock is overbought a consolidation phase is inevitable. Looking at Gold's history, when RSI pushed these levels, in every single case, price dropped.

I've added a view that shows the whole history of Gold. And I think this view also suggest sell pressure around the current price. Note that blue marked zone is an approximation because not any information from the past is present.

To be able to keep track, I've added this view of the last 4 years. This view also indicates a lot of sell pressure for the short-term. I will update this view from time to time as Gold plays out.

Overall, lots of indications, RSI being the most solid one, show that Gold is looking for a consolidation before moving forward with the bull rally. My only concern right now is, Is gold going to push more before consolidation starts? To be honest, It is not easy to comment on that. Least we can do is wait until a solid reversal on a hourly chart. I wouldn’t suggest shorting in situations like this without waiting for confirmation...
